"I had the chance to fabricate something to topple the regime.
I and my sons are proud of that..."
-- Curveball, admitting he lied about Iraq
having WMDs,
Link

"We're
glad that you and your sons are proud."

"Thanks for those
extra billions, Curveball!"

It's Bart's
Law Number Two - Any time a
person or entity makes a "mistake" that puts
extra money (or power) in their pocket, expect them to make that
"mistake" again and again and again.
"Thanks for the extra billions, Curveball!"

Quotes
"You know, it's fun to make these equivalences, and I'm sure that Jon
Stewart
will dutifully dredge up a couple of examples of Code Pink
yelling something at
Donald Rumsfeld to prove that liberals are 'just as bad.' And
liberals will dutifully
pull back and be more polite while conservatives will laugh and
laugh and laugh.
But it's bullshit." -- Digby, reacting to an article by Liz
Sidoti,,about hecklers at CPAC
in which
she employs the "both sides have hecklers" bullshit Link
Digby is right. Jon Stewart often points out that the Left
is "just as bad" as the sons of bitches - but he's wrong.

Subject: Bill Murray the golfer
Shit man, after all these years of chasing gophers, Bill finally was
allowed in the main game.
This is just great news. We always knew Murray had it in him. When you
watch all the
brightly colored fat men losing their shit over bad hits, Murray comes
across as a
give-a-fuck character who simply makes his balls disappear (down holes,
that is).

Hail Bill, the golfer in chief. He’s not fat, and he gets the job done.

Quotes
"This lawsuit is not about politics or race.... It is about how
quickly, in today's
internet media environment, a person's good name can become
'collateral damage'
in an overheated political debate. I strongly believe in a free
press, but not in
deliberate distortions of the truth. Mr. Breitbart has never
apologized for what
he did to me and continues -- to this day -- to make the same
slurs about my character." -- Shirley Sherrod, about her lawsuit
for defamation against Andrew Breitbart )R-Liar) Link

Shame on Obama Just this week, a mother in Kansas City with several
children
burned their little home down trying to keep the children warm with a
toaster oven.

How can anyone bear the thought of the sick, the poor and elderly
people of this
country going without even the basics. For crying out loud, heat and
food are not luxury items;

Has Obama turned into a mean and hard-hearted Republican, or was he
already one?
Bill Clinton would never have cut the legs out from under the people
who happen to be unfortunate!!

After he cuts the social security out from under those of us who have
contributed to it
for years on end; and cuts down funds for education and everything else
he can think of,
we'll be back to the good old republican 20's and 30's.

He might as well just have a firing squad or other means to kill people
out right
so they don't have to suffer any longer. The worst part of this
scenario is that
it would be 100's of times worse under republican rule.

I wish I could claim credit for this, but someone noted that Palin
seems to have abandoned her creationist shtick in favor of evolution.

It is generally accepted that Neanderthals were either an abandoned
side shoot
of the human evolutionary path or a part of the direct lineage for
modern man.

Either way, I don't recall the Bible mentioning that "On the 8th day
God
created the Neanderthal", and I read R. Crumb's Genesis cover to
cover.

I think Sarah is confused
about what
she believes.

If Democrats had any brains, or any will to win, they'd come up with a
"science test."
You either believe in science or you don't.
Force the bastards to take a public stand and then f-ing pound them for it.

If they say they DON'T believe in science, then that should disqualify
a caveman
like Jim Inhofe from chairing the Environment and Public Works
Committee.

I love your site. I spend half my time "outraged" and the other
"en-raged".
Your site fits perfectly. I do have a question for you.

Would you please tell me why you do not believe in God?
You could simply give a half-dozen reasons why you do not believe in
God.

As I said, I love your site, but I stumble whenever you say it.
This is no sort of judgement. I am also an air breather and water
drinker
as you are, but I would perhaps understand site better.
Thanks,
Jackson

Jackson, there is no evidence
God exists.
Someone told you there was a
God and you believed them.

Let's start from the beginning:
Odds are you have the same religion as your parents.
You believe in God because your parents told you he exists and your
parents
were the ones who told you the stove was hot - so you believe them
about God.

If you had been born in India, you'd worship a different God.
Same for Iran and Saudi Arabia, so why let the accident of geography
decide which "God" is real? It makes no sense to me.

People pray to the non-existent God when they're afraid or need a favor.Prayer doesn't work and
I've got money to prove it.

Religion is a crutch for people who can't make it on their own.
If you're in a dark alley at night, you illogically
convince
yourself that
God is with you and that he'll protect you, but if a gang of muggers
shows up, that belief in God won't help you in the slightest.

Religion also gives people an excuse to hurt and kill others - that's
just crazy.
We have war in the Midele east because both sides are angry that Isaac
kicked
David's ass 4,000 years ago (whatever - don't correct me) and that's
pure crazy.

Archie Bunker famously said, "Faith is when you
believe in somethingthat
nobody in their right mind would believe in." He's
right.

When you die, you're not going to Heaven or Hell.
When your lungs stop working, your mind dies from lack of oxygen
and your body starts to decompose like 4-day old hamburger meat.

When someone tells you about God, odds are they'll want some money.
You know what the difference is between going to church and praying at
home?
The collection plate.

What gall it takes for some preacher or priest to say you owe him 10%
of every dollar you earn your entire life - that's just extortion.

If you don't give the church money and follow their stupid rulesyou're going to burn for
eternity but don't forget - God loves you.

Some Commandments make sense - don't kill, don't steal.
When I was a wee lad, they told me it was a sin to covet that
brand new bike that my neighbor got for his birthday.

Since I didn't have a bike, fuck yeah, I coveted his bike. That's
being human.
Why does religion punish you for being human?

And if I see a pretty woman on TV or on the street, it's a sin if I
wonder
what it would be like to have sex with her? Who made these stupid
rules?

Madonna said she stopped being Catholic when they told her tongue
kissing was a mortal sin, just like murder and rape - that's
super-stupid.

The only way I can see God or religion making any sense at all is if
you consider Mother Nature a force, but even that is stretching things.

In America, you can't even get elected dog catcher unless you say,"There's
a bearded old man who lives in the clouds and listens to the
thoughts and prayers of billions of people every day."

Santa visiting every child in the world on Christmas Eve makes more
sense.

Religion is a racket, run by racketeers. Think of Oral Roberts, pre-TV,
going from town to town with his phoney-ass revival tents and his
actors.

An actor would stand up and say, "I have a broken
back."
Then Oral would touch him and wave his arms around and now the guy's
a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers - it's all about the Benjamins.

Now the jackals have satellites and they fleece tens of thousands of
victims each day - all with the power of the US government behind them.

Look at your TV dial.
They made it a law that the religious fleecing channels have to be near
the network channels, so it'll be easier for the wolves to eat their
sheep.

If you get comfort by talking to God, hey, it's a free country.
But we need to keep than insanity far away from government.
Remember when Bush said "God told me to fuck
Saddam?"

Plus, they drill this stuff into you when you're a defenseless little
kid.
Even if you're just a year old, you hear the hushed tones of the
people,
you hear the droning of the church organ and you smell that Frankincense
and it can't help but have an effect on you.

If they waited until you were old enough to drive to spring this on you,
most people would say, "That's crazy,"
and then where would
religion be?

That's probably more
than you wanted to hear, but it's been a while
since I did my anti-religion rant so I thought I'd get back into it.BTW, why was your e-mail titled "A call to reason?"

Although not the usual view
of the fountain and town as seen from Mt. Washington. I always thought if
PittsburgH showed up it would be one of the easiest due to the pics usually show the
identifiable triangle, you came up with a curve.
